Setting up printer
Posted by TagaR on November 4th, 2004


Hi,

how can I setup a printer that will be available to all
users. Currently, I have to logon to a particular user and connect to set
them up.

Thanks
TagaR

Is the printer on a server? Or on a network?

The easiest way is to put it on the network for all to use.

Hi Larry,

The printers are shared network printers. And because the default permission
of a user does not allow to install this printer, I have to log off and logon
to and add this user with more privileges to install the printer. If I
install it in the administrator logon, when I logon with the user credential,
the printer is not there.

Thanks
TagaR

You need to setup the printer (preferably) on a server. Then share the
printer for everyone. Regular users (with default permissions) will be able
to "add" the printer after logging on. Note: adding a printer is NOT the
same as installing a printer.

use a script and install the printer to the machine not the user this way it
will be available to all user who use the machine "rundll32
printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /?"copy this into run without the quotes to get the
switches you need.create a batch file with the command. run the script and
REBOOT.the only way to uninstall the printer that is installed with this
command is to create another script to uninstall.
